Is an insurance policy still required for vehicle inspection now?

Currently, an insurance policy is required for vehicle inspection. Below are the key points to note for the annual inspection: 1. Required documents: Vehicle registration certificate, duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy, warning triangle, and fire extinguisher. (Vehicle violations must be resolved, and no modifications are allowed on the vehicle body.) 2. Document explanation: The compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy consists of two pages—the original and the duplicate. If the vehicle is purchased through installment payments and the original policy is not available, a photocopy of the policy (stamped by the insurance company) and an insurance card must be provided along with a valid reason. The duplicate copy of the policy must be submitted during the inspection and will be retained by the inspection agency. 3. Bring personal identification and a photocopy of the ID. The driver who takes the vehicle for inspection must carry their ID card, and both the original and photocopy are required. The photocopy should be neatly trimmed along the edges. For company vehicles, the agent's identification is required.

In the past, the insurance policy was essential when I had my car inspected. Nowadays, the compulsory traffic insurance policy still needs to be brought along, as it’s a national requirement—without it, the vehicle cannot pass the annual inspection. I’ve noticed significant changes in recent years, with many places promoting electronic policies, allowing them to be displayed via mobile apps instead of paper documents. However, some older regions might still insist on paper copies, so I recommend checking the local DMV’s requirements before the inspection to avoid a wasted trip. The significance of insurance goes beyond the annual inspection—it’s also for driving safety, ensuring coverage in case of accidents. During the inspection, other items are checked as well, such as brakes and lights, which are mandatory requirements, and the policy is just the first step. In short, it’s wise to prepare the policy in advance and also check its validity to avoid discovering issues during the inspection.

The insurance policy is indeed required during the vehicle inspection process. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, and the staff will check the policy to confirm its validity during the inspection. Having gone through this several times, I've found electronic policies quite practical now—just keeping a screenshot in the car suffices for the check. The key is ensuring the insurance isn't expired; if it is, you must renew it before the inspection can proceed. This policy hasn't changed, aiming to guarantee every vehicle has safety coverage. Personally, I believe insurance and annual inspections are fundamental. It's best to bring all necessary documents, including the vehicle license and ID card, to pass the inspection efficiently. If time is tight, scheduling the annual inspection online in advance can save a lot of hassle.

You must bring the insurance policy for the vehicle inspection. The compulsory traffic insurance policy is a mandatory check item. When I was younger, I couldn't pass the inspection without insurance. Nowadays, some places might accept electronic versions for convenience, but to be safe, it's better to have a paper copy as well. This rule has remained unchanged to ensure everyone's driving safety. An expired policy won't work, so make sure to renew it in advance. I recommend checking your insurance status a few days before the inspection to avoid last-minute issues. Vehicle condition checks are also crucial, especially for safety components like brakes. In short, while the policy may seem minor, safety is paramount.
